General Antenna Information
When
it comes to selecting a TV antenna there you must consider the distance
and direction of your local broadcast stations, the frequencies which
are being transmitted, the strength of the frequencies and the terrain
between your home and these broadcast stations.
You must
consider the distance of the broadcast tower when selecting an antenna,
we provide antennas that will reach anywhere from 35 to 100+ miles. You
can find the reception capabilities of each Channel Master antenna in
the outdoor antenna section of our site.
If you have broadcast
stations that are in multiple directions you may want to consider a
rotator which is a programmable device that will rotate your antenna in
the desired direction with just a click of a button. You can also use
an omnidirectional antenna which picks up signals from all directions.
Please keep in mind that omnidirectional antennas require strong
signals to work effectively.
You can view available stations and their directions by using this nifty tool offerd by the FCC. You can also use antennaweb.org
to view which color codes are required to pick up your available
location stations. You can find the corresponding color codes to each
of our antennas when viewing their product pages or by viewing this antenna specification chart Another critical aspect to an antenna is the
frequency in which it can receive. Digital TV signals can be broadcast
over two frequency ranges, VHF (Very High Frequency) and UHF (Ultra
High Frequency). VHF channels range from 2 - 13, where "low-band" VHF
channels range from 2 - 6 and "high-band" VHF are channels 7 - 13. The
UHF channel range is 14 - 69, currently (prior to transition) more than
87% of digital stations broadcast in UHF. Since most channels are
broadcast using UHF frequency, most viewers should be fine using a UHF
outdoor TV antenna.
